Rangers take on Hamilton Academical at Ibrox this afternoon.

Rangers starting line-up: McGregor; Tavernier, Goldson, Edmundson, Barisic; Davis, Kamara, Arfield; Ojo, Stewart, Defoe.

Rangers starting line-up: Foderingham, Polster, Katic, Halliday, Aribo, Murphy, Morelos.

Rangers can go top of the Scottish Premiership this afternoon if they can beat Hamilton Academical at Ibrox, following Celtic’s shock 2-0 defeat at Livingston.

The Gers lost at Young Boys on Thursday evening, and will be looking to recover from their late hearbreak in Switzerland with a win this afternoon.

Allan McGregor starts in goal again as usual, with a back four of James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, George Edmundson and Borna Barisic ahead of him.

Steven Davis, Glen Kamara and Scott Arfield start in midfield, with Ryan Jack out injured. We suggested earlier that Andy King would surely be in line for a start, but he’s not even in the squad as Steven Gerrard leaves the Welshman waiting for a first start.

Sheyi Ojo and Greg Stewart start in the final third, supporting lone striker Jermain Defoe, who has been picked ahead of Alfredo Morelos in the Rangers attacker.

Joe Aribo is surprisingly named on the bench, alongside Morelos, Wes Foderingham, Matt Polster, Nikola Katic, Andy Halliday and Jamie Murphy.
